Last report I saw was the suspect left an “AK47 type rifle” with a scope, at a vantage point 300-500 yards from Trump’s location at the time.
Now granted journalists don’t tend to know a damn thing about firearms, or ask good follow up questions so who knows, it could be a DMR type of rifle like an SVD that the uninformed would mistake for an AK.
But if it’s just a standard 7.62 x 39 AK pattern rifle, scoped or not, that’s … very optimistic at that range.

Unless it’s a pistol, its either an M16 (or Ar15,), or an AK 47. Them’s the rules in horrible reporting involving firearms.
